After the waste material goes against the sky

Chapter 294 Disaster Relief in Yunzhou [11]

But when he saw Mo Zihan and the prefect in official uniform beside Mo Zihan and Tuoli, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! I didn't steal the steamed buns on purpose. There is a younger sister in my family, and she is about to starve to death!"

Mo Zihan stepped forward, held the shoulders of the boy who kept kowtowing to them with both hands, and asked with a smile:

"Little brother, my sister asks you, are you from Guyuan Township?"

The boy was taken aback by Mo Zihan's question, and then nodded.

"Then can you take your sister to your house?"

"But my sister is still in the county."

"Then can you take us to find your sister and then go to your house?"

Seeing that the boy hesitated, Mo Zihan said again: "Don't worry, the prefect will not arrest you. Isn't your sister hungry? There is a lot of food here."

"Okay. I'll take you to find my sister." Hearing that Mo Zihan said that he had a lot to eat, the boy immediately agreed to Mo Zihan's request.

When they came to a ruined temple, a girl the same size as a boy curled up on the ground.Mo Zihan helped the little girl up, and Imperial Physician Huang immediately stepped forward to feel her pulse.

"It's okay, it's just that I've been hungry for too long and have no strength, that's why I'm like this."

Seeing this, the boy immediately handed the steamed bun in his hand to the girl, and the girl took the steamed bun and gnawed desperately.

"Eat slowly, brother has a lot here." Tuoli took the dry food handed over by Qian Ze, squatted down, and handed the food and water to the siblings.

The brother and sister, who had been starving for many days, saw that they had so much food at first glance, but immediately devoured it and ate it mercilessly.

When they were all over eating, Tuoli asked the boy, "What's your name?"

"My name is Gu Yujie."

"What about you?" Tuoli asked, turning to the girl again.

"My name is Gu Yumeng"

"Are you twins?" Seeing that Gu Yujie and Gu Yumeng were about the same size and looked exactly alike, Mo Zihan asked.

"Yeah." Gu Yujie nodded.

"Where are your parents?" Mo Zihan asked.

"Father and mother both died of the plague."

"Then... before your parents died, who else died in Gu Yuan Township?"

Gu Yujie and Gu Yumeng looked at each other, thought for a while, and shook their heads.

"In other words, your parents were the first to be infected with the plague in Gu Yuan Township, right?" Mo Zihan asked guidingly.

"Yes." Gu Yujie lowered his head in shame.

It was because their parents accidentally contracted the plague and infected other people in the village that people died one after another.Later, the plague spread faster and faster. Not only did many people in the village die, but even the county town and the entire Yunzhou City were not spared.

The people in the village had long regarded the two brothers and sisters as the source of the plague, not only refused to help them, but also drove them out of Guyuan Township, and then they drifted to the county seat of Wangqu County.

"Then why don't you take your brother and sister to your house now?"

"...Mmm." Although he was not very willing, Gu Yujie nodded.

"Brother..., didn't they say they would beat us to death if we went back to our hometown?" Gu Yumeng said weakly, holding Gu Yujie's hand.

"Xiaomeng, you just wait here for brother, I will take them there and come back."

"No, I won't let you go back alone!" Gu Yumeng hugged Gu Yujie's waist fiercely, not letting him go.

"Yumeng", Mo Zihan took Gu Yumeng's hand, walked to the county magistrate standing behind Liang Qiuhang, and introduced:
